Coal Mine. IT, - =

-.
porrsvuax. Penn, April IL. - A
,shock ing accident occurred in . mine OF
the hamberlsin collisry. at st. CLAIR.
Yesterday. afternoon. Miss Berlista
Shaul, .of. Sharon Springs, N. T., .
s.udspt at " assar College. was visiting
Miss Minnis Karter fellow student.
The two young ladies in company with
two youpg men named Harry Short and
Edwin Thompssn, one of the operators
Of the coliiery, entered the mine for the
purpose of giving Miss shaul an oppor'
tunity to inspect the operations OF mining
coal The mine had not been worked
for a week and none but the explorers
were inside at the time. In an adjacent
working, however, were Albert lhomp-
.aan. another OF the firm. and several
Others who were making an examination
of the works. They were startled by a
heavy explosion, and knowing that a
marty had entered another stope they
hsstened there to investigate. About
$50 wards from the foot of the stope they
came upon Short aud Thompson and the
two ladies lying upon the ground, some
OF them unconscious and all .frightialiy
burned and mangled.. They we're taken
out as speedily as possible and nedical
attendaucs obtained. Miss Karter's face
was burned beyond recognition; her
skull and thigh fractured and ankle
crushed. She died last evening. Miss
Shaul had leg badly fractured and was
terribly bruised aud burned, but may
survive. Shorts head is mass OF cuts
and coDtusions, and he is badly, bnrned.
He remained unconscious aud his re-
eovery ia doubtful. Thompson is pain
fully but not fatally bruised. The
precise cause of the explosion is unknown
but the supposition is that the party
carried naked lamp and encountered q
body of fire damp which ignited from the
lamp aud exploded with tremendous
force.

Ibid you ever hear of Wild Bill's ace ful 2"

about it than baby. The consequence was
he was picnic for the sports, and they tleeced
him right and left. He was repeatedly
warned That he was being robbed. but he al
ways replied that he was able to take care of
himself. One night he sat down to play with
fellow named Mcdonald, q fine worker and
expert. Med maid did as he pleased, and the
scout found his pile getting smaller and
smaller as the game progressed. As he
lost he began to drink. and midnight
found HIM IN state of intense butrepressed
excitement, condition that made him one
OF the most dangerous men in the West. 1t
was at this juncture that Mcdonald. smart
gambler as he was, made his mistake. He
should have quit, However, Wild BilPs APP

FIorida's Indian Claims.

Senator Call has taken occasion to
print his record on the FLORIDA Indian
war claims business. His political enc
niles in Florida and those who have
personal interest in these claims have
made the most of their opportunity, 1t is
alleged, to create the impression that he
has shown ignorance and incompetency
in connection with the claims. His YER
sion, hOweyer,of what has been done with
respect to the claIms-and il appears to
be apretty straight one-plac5s him in an
altOge Their different light. He seems to
have eXerted himself to promote the In
terests of Florida.
From the published interview with the
Senator it appears that there were two
bills TO secure the payment OF the claims
one known as the Wales bill and the
other as the Hampton bill. The Wales
bill passed the House, but was three
times reported unfavorably in the Sem
ate. The Hampton bill passed the Sem
ate and would, without doubt, have
passed the House. 1t was reconsidered
by the Senate at the request OF Senator
Call. who was Influenced in his course by
the friends Of the Wales bill.
Senator Call favored the Hampton bill
because he thought 1t was the better one
for the State, and also because he was
thoroughly satisfied that the Senate would
not pass the Wales bill. II the Wales
bill had become a law between 5000, 900
and 100000 would have been obtained,
1925, 900 Of which would have gone to pay
the debt of the State to the Indian trust
fund, and $l05, 900, or thereabout, TO
Wales and others who have a contract
with the State to collect the Indian
claims. The balance would have gone
into the States Treasury.
If the Hampton bill mad become a law
the State would have received $549, 900,
and would not have had to pay out any
thing 10 Wales and others, because the
bill would have passed without any help
from Them. In fact, 1t would have passed
in the face of their protest.
From Senator Calps statement the best
ceptance Of the Hampton bill, not only
because 1t promised more actual
cash to the State, but, also,
because it alone had any
chance of passing. Doubtless the advo-
Gates of the Wales DILL will have some
thing to say about Mr.. Cal's interview.
But can they contradict any OF his state

any set of men who may be working only
to make a handsome commission, to make
1t appear that Mr.. Call has been derelict
in his duty to his constituents.
